The staff were very welcoming and helpful. I liked this hotel also for the location accessible to lugano stazione. I would like to commend the gentlemen in the front desk during dec 13 to 15 of my stay. I forgot to get their names. I would recommend this hotel.

Only 200 yards from the train station, straight down, a little difficult to find, but visible if you know where to look. Easy walk to the hotel, but difficult with bad knees.

We arrived in Lugano by train and the hotel is just across the road from the station, albeit many metres down the hill. No problem there are semi gentle ramps to the hotel front door. The staff at reception were jolly and helpful to say the least. Online check in streamlined the process and should be used at other hotels. This is a great innovation. Up the elevator and into the room. Spectacular room with amazing views of the town, lake and mountains from the balcony. A superb bed and air conditioning, blockout blinds nice bathroom made me wish I was staying longer. Not far back to the station for the Bernina express in the morning. Catch the funicular from the church next door or push your bags up the ramps if you are a bit fit. My only wish is there was the option of a plain sheet instead of the Swiss dogonas available on the beds in summer. This would be a greener option on hot nights.
